In Transit, Rachel Cusk delves deeper into themes first explored in the acclaimed Outline, offering readers profound and moving reflections on childhood and destiny, the value of suffering, the moral challenges of personal responsibility, and the mystery of change. In the second book of her concise yet epic trilogy, Cusk describes profound life experiences and the difficulties at the threshold of profound change. With disturbing restraint and honesty, she captures the desire to simultaneously live and escape life, as well as the agonizing duality that awakens our desire to feel real.
